What You Cannot Take Onboard

The Australian Government’s aviation security regulations restrict you from carrying certain items on you or in your carry-on bag through security screening and onto an aircraft.

Prohibited items

Prohibited items include sporting goods, kitchen utensils, tools, and other things with sharp edges or points capable of injuring someone. You are required to surrender any prohibited items you are carrying before boarding your flight.

Weapons

Weapons of any kind are not permitted to be carried on you or in your carry-on bag and onto an aircraft. Weapons include but are not limited to firearms, parts of firearms including ammunition, replica firearms, and martial arts equipment.

Dangerous goods

Dangerous goods are not allowed anywhere on the aircraft because they may be explosive, flammable, magnetic, caustic and generally too dangerous to be taken on the aircraft.
